"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It took Bradley Wright-Phillips just 30 seconds and two touches to score on Saturday, putting back a rebound on the New York Red Bulls\u2019 first possession of the match. He went on to score two more goals, making his third hat trick of the season in a 4-1 win over the Seattle Sounders.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That was also his third hat trick with New York, tying Amado Guevara\u2019s club record. Wright-Phillips is the fourth player to score three hat tricks in one MLS season and the first since Diego Serna in 2000.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reason Wright-Phillips&amp;nbsp;has been so efficient in front of goal this season has been his pure finishing ability, personified by his three goals on three shots against Seattle, including a penalty in the 54th minute. His third goal was a one-touch finish on a bouncing cross from Roy Miller, also from right around the penalty spot.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STRAUS: Inside MLS' new logo and brand identity&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;New York has five games remaining, and Wright-Phillips is on 24 league goals. If he can continue his pace from the rest of the season, he should be able to at least tie Chris Wondolowski and Roy Lassiter\u2019s single-season record of 27.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wright-Phillips is joined by 10 others on this week\u2019s MLS Best XI:\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Planet F\u00FAtbol MLS Best XI \u2014 Week 28&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Steve Clark (Columbus Crew)&lt;/strong&gt;: Clark finished with six saves in a 1-0 win over New England. The MLS newcomer made a couple impressive stops to preserve the shutout, including some in the last five minutes on Charlie Davies\u2019 curling shots.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 A.J. Cochran (Houston Dynamo):&lt;/strong&gt; In a scoreless draw against Philadelphia, Cochran blocked a whopping five shots for the Dynamo. He also recovered seven loose balls and made three clearances.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 J\u00E1mison Olave (New York Red Bulls):&lt;/strong&gt; Olave made eight clearances and eight interceptions in a 4-1 win over Seattle. The big man \u2014 who won all four of his aerial duels \u2014 isn\u2019t known for his foot skills, but he only misplayed two passes all night.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Carlos Salcedo (Real Salt Lake):&lt;/strong&gt; The 20-year-old Salcedo scored RSL\u2019s final goal in a 5-1 win over Colorado on a corner kick on one end, and he completed 93 percent of his passes on the other. He\u2019s had his ups and downs this season, but Friday\u2019s game was one of his finest of the season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Tony Tchani (Columbus Crew):&lt;/strong&gt; Tchani anchored the Columbus midfield on the defensive end in the Crew\u2019s slim win over the Revs, with four clearances and 16 loose-ball recoveries. He also created one goalscoring chance on the other end.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Diego Valeri (Portland Timbers): &lt;/strong&gt;Valeri scored another thunderous goal and added an assist in Portland\u2019s 3-0 win over Vancouver. His consistency has been impressive, as he has nine goals (tied for the team lead) and 14 assists (tied for second in the league) this season.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Darlington Nagbe (Portland Timbers):&lt;/strong&gt; Nagbe created two goalscoring opportunities against Vancouver, finishing with one assist, and completed 94 percent of his passes. It hasn\u2019t been the easiest season for him, but Saturday marked a return to the form that saw Nagbe break out in 2013.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy):&lt;/strong&gt; Keane scored the first goal and assisted Alan Gordon\u2019s winner in a 2-1 win over FC Dallas. He created four goalscoring opportunities total and checked off the front line to aid in combination play.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BIRD: Galaxy take over top spot in latest Power Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Gilberto (Toronto FC):&lt;/strong&gt; Gilberto scored once and added an assist in a comfortable 3-0 win over Chivas USA. His efficiency in front of goal was a big reason for Toronto scoring three goals in a game for the first time since early August.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Bradley-Wright Phillips (New York Red Bulls):&lt;/strong&gt; Behind Wright-Phillips\u2019 third hat trick of the season, the Red Bulls sank the visiting Sounders, 4-1, on Saturday. That took his league goals tally to&amp;nbsp;24, five more than &amp;nbsp;second-place Dom Dwyer\u2019s 19.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022 Fanendo Adi (Portland Timbers):&lt;/strong&gt; Adi scored twice in the Timbers\u2019 win over Vancouver. He now has eight goals this season, and they\u2019ve all come in batches of two.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
